The FBI's 10 Most Wanted Explained

for almost 75 years the FBI's top 10 most wanted list has helped bring down some of the nation's most dangerous criminals as for what makes the list special it only features criminals that the FBI deems to be especially serious threats to society and to get on it you basically have to do something extremely messed up or have a very lengthy record of Major Crimes the story behind the list goes that back in 1949 a reporter asked the FBI to list out the 10 toughest guys that they were trying to catch so they could ask the public for help after obtaining the list the reporter published the criminals pictures on the front page of the Washington Daily News and the rest is history since then the FBI has been able to catch almost 500 wanted fugitives thanks to public tips these are the current criminals on the list bades Kumar shaten by pel on April 12th 2015 a CCTV camera captured two Dunkin Donuts employees one male and one female walking towards the Shop's back room at around 9:30 p. m. before disappearing from view a few seconds later the man comes back into the camera's View and it seems as if nothing out of the ordinary took place in the minute that went down between the two clips a few minutes later customers alerted the police when they didn't see any employees in the shop and that's when the cops discovered something horrifying lying on the floor of the Shop's back room was an Indian woman named pic lifeless who had been pummeled to death by the man in the footage as it was later revealed the man who took pik's life was her husband badrish Kumar as the authorities later learned the couple had been through a series of major arguments in the months leading up to that day according to court documents the two of their visas were about to expire in a few weeks pic wanted to go back to India but badish Kumar wanted to stay in the US and it looks like he couldn't find a better way to communicate his frustration with the situation than to brutally take his wife's life after the crime badish Kumar was last seen taking a taxi from a hotel in New Jersey to a train station in Newark but what he did after that is really anyone's guess to bring more attention to a suspect who might otherwise walk away Scott free the FBI placed him on the most wanted list as of today there's a quarter million doll reward to bring the suspect into custody but almost 10 years after the crime it looks like that won't happen anytime soon Alejandro Rosales Castillo the youngest suspect on the most wanted list 26-year-old Alejandro Rosales Castillo has been on the FBI's radar for more than 8 years in 2016 he shot his female co-worker Sandy Lee in a wooded area in Karis County North Carolina a few days later the female victim's car was located at a bus station in Phoenix Arizona as the authorities later found out there were multiple people involved in the case with the main ones being the victim a woman named Amia fer and Alejandra himself all of whom worked together at a restaurant in Charlotte during the investigation the cops learned that Sandy Lee and Alejandro had briefly dated and after their breakup Castillo started dating his other cooworker Amia Easter according to court documents Sandy Lee had apparently lent some money to Alejandro and on August 9th of that year he texted her to meet up with him at a quick trip located on Eastway Drve in Charlotte claiming that he was going to pay her back disturbingly that's when Castillo decided to rob her at gunpoint take her life and flee to Mexico in an eerie clip of CCTV footage that was later released by the authorities the suspect can be seen crossing the Mexican border through nagales Arizona along with his girlfriend Amia a couple of months later that same year Amia turned herself into the authorities in Mexico and was charged with accessory after the fact of felony murder and Larsen of a motor vehicle based on her testimony she and Alejandra had been staying with the Killer's cousin at some point Castillo had once again disappeared with no explanation and that's when she decided to turn herself in as of 2024 the FBI has no further clues that could lead to Castillo's arrest right now all they know is that he's probably still living in Mexico the last time he was seen he wore his hair short and shaved on the side Ides but that's pretty much all they have to go on as of today there's still A4 million do reward out for his arrest but there have been no further updates on his case before we move on I wanted to take some time to talk about this video's sponsor Aura which has become a really big deal lately because hackers may have just stolen the social security numbers of every American you may not have heard but over 2.

9 billion records were stolen from national public data which provides personal information to employers and others doing background checks and these records don't just include surface level information either like I had originally assumed when I first heard about this but instead they include information like a person's full name address date of birth phone number and most importantly their social security number and different members of hacker groups around the internet have reportedly released this information for completely free online this is an extreme breach of privacy and hearing about this I'm honestly surprised it didn't make as much news as it did thankfully I don't have to worry about reaches like this because I use Aura Aura is constantly monitoring your personal data including your social security number across billions of data points like the dark web and public court records to detect and alert you to potential identity theft they even give you up to $5 million in identity theft Insurance should the worst case scenario happen I also get things like transaction monitoring a VPN antivirus a password manager and a lot more I get this all in one app at one affordable price I'm not leaving myself and my family vulnerable to data breaches and if you don't want to either you can go to aa. com chilling scares roua ignatova in 2016 the Bulgarian entrepreneur rouja ignatova stepped on stage in a beautiful red dress at the Coin Rush Global event in Wembley London to talk about her vision for the future of her crypto company onecoin during the presentation she claimed that in 2 years everyone would forget about Bitcoin and that one coin would dominate the crypto world as the one true true cryptocurrency it's hard to imagine that any of her excited applauding investors knew that they were stepping into what was later described by the New York Times as one of the biggest scams in history for several years rouja or the crypto queen as she's known nowadays promised her buyers a five-fold and even 10-fold return on their investment in one coin normally these kinds of claims are an immediate red flag but because the entire world was scrambling to get on the crypto action a ton of investors jumped at the opportunity without thinking twice resulting in a massive onecoin buying frenzy between 2014 and 2016 onecoin raked in more than $4 billion from unsuspecting investors with more than $50 million coming from investors in the US as the investors learned when they bought into one coin the company was pretty much a pyramid scheme in which they were rewarded for recruiting their friends to buy it as well and for a while the Shady multi-level marketing model seemed to be working for roua however in 2016 a lot of our investors started complaining that they were really struggling to sell their onecoins and that they didn't see how they'd ever recoup their Investments words started to spread online that onecoin was a scam which drew the attention of the media as well as Federal investigators unfortunately it was a little too late by then less than a year and a half after a presentation in Wembley rouja got on a plane from Bulgaria to Greece and was never seen again disturbingly during the investigations a bunch of really messed up emails written by roua were leaked by federal investigators in which the crypto Queen made it more than clear that she knew she was scamming people out of their hard-earned money from the very start in some of her emails she admitted that the company wasn't actually mining any coins that her coin was trash and that her investors were idiots for trusting her in one of her emails she proposed an exit strategy to her partner Carl Greenwood which consisted of taking the money running away and blaming somebody else for the whole thing during the investigation Carl ended up cleaning guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy to launder money for which he was sentenced to 20 years in prison as it was later revealed the FBI had been on tja long before she fled from Bulgaria even recruiting her American boyfriend to look into her company's practices for them after learning about her extremely sketchy business practices and her grand scheme to steal billions of dollars from investors all around the world she was charged with wire fraud money laundering and securities fraud this promptly landed her a spot on the FBI's most wanted list becoming only the 11th woman to earn that distinction looking into her past to find Clues as to what could have influenced rouja to do something so nefarious Federal investigators found some pretty interesting stuff as it turns out roua was fluent in four languages was extremely intelligent once had a job at a high-ranking consulting firm and had been obsessed with fashion and maintaining her image from a very young age it was only with the benefit of hindsight that prosecutors were able to clearly see how she used all these qualities to carry out her malicious plans unfortunately it doesn't look like the FBI will find her anytime soon it's been rumored that after fleeing the country the crypto Queen may have have drastically altered her appearance with plastic surgery and is believed to travel with armed guards at all times disturbingly there have also been several allegations that she was murdered by an accomplice but this hasn't been proven if she is still alive the FBI suspects roua is traveling on a German passport to the United Arab Emirates Bulgaria Germany Russia Greece and multiple countries in Eastern Europe considering how elusive she's been since her disappearance almost 8 years ago it's unlikely the FBI will ever find out what became of roua the TOA After pulling off one of the largest financial scams in history Arnaldo yenz on May 12th 2012 Arnaldo Y menz and his wife australa went out to celebrate their wedding in a black 2006 four-door Maserati less than 24 hours after the couple had said their vows Arnaldo knifed his wife to death in the car dragged her into the bathroom tub of her apartment in Burbank Illinois and disappeared Without a Trace when estraya didn't come back to pick up kids at school the next day her family called the cops who ended up finding aa's remains still in her wedding dress in her bathtub immediately a nationwide search for araldo was launched but by that time the suspect was long gone during the investigation it was revealed that y menz had reached out to a friend before fleeing and told him if anyone asks where I am tell them I went to Mexico since then the authorities have received multiple tips that y menz may have fled to Durango oral leipus Mexico where he's believed to be hiding out with family members initially a $100,000 reward was issued for anyone with information that could lead to his arrest but four years after he was placed on the most wanted list the FBI increased the reward to a quar million do Burbank Police have stated that in the past 12 years they've received hundreds of tips about arnaldo's whereabouts but none of them had led to anything significant after the crime investigators traced his phone and determined that he had traveled from Chicago to Tennessee then to Arkansas and from there to hiago Texas very close to The Mex me border they were unfortunately unable to determine where he went after that police have also revealed that the car in which arnando carried out his hanous crime was never found if the suspect is ever caught he'll be spending the rest of his life in prison for first-degree murder and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution but based on how things have played out since the last time he was seen it's unlikely Arnaldo will ever pay for his atrocious crime vatel ominis as the leader of one of hai's largest and most violent criminal gangs craze bar vatel om innocent which do not let his name fool you he is indeed Not Innocent has terrorized the region for years earning a spot on the FBI's most wanted list for his role in a string of brutal kidnappings and murders in October 2021 he collaborated with the notorious 400 mooo gang to carry out the high-profile kidnapping of 17 Christian missionaries in Haiti disturbingly five of the kidnapping victims were children one as young as 8 months old sold held at gunpoint the hostages were reportedly kept captive for 2 months while the gangs demanded a ransom of $1 million per hostage it was only after an anonymous donor paid an undisclosed sum to craze bar and 400 moo that the missionaries were finally released based on court documents innocent and his crew ended up spending the ransom money on weapons that same year the Haitian president was assassinated which caused innocent's influence to grow exponentially in the chaos that engulfed the country in the the aftermath of the assassination cbury claimed new territories and expanded their ranks quicker than the cops could even keep track of in 2023 cbury boasted an estimated 600 members many of whom were young children who were involuntarily recruited to serve innocent criminal organization almost exactly one year after the kidnapping of the Christian missionaries cbury kidnapped two US citizens under innocence orders Marie odet Franklin and Jean Franklin unfortunately one of the victims did not survive while the other was held for a $300,000 Ransom somehow innocent still managed to walk away Scott free in April 2024 a CNN released an interview where innocent brazenly showed off his luxury home which sticks out like a sore thumb in the extreme poverty surrounding him surrounded by gold rim couches and chairs innocent explained to the reporter how he came to power in the interview he shamelessly blamed hades's corruption on the country's politicians refusing to take any responsibility for his own actions interestingly he also alleged that before becoming the leader of Cranbury he had once owned multiple legitimate businesses including a hotel and a rental car company but said his companies were destroyed by the government according to multiple crime analysts innocent was once a political activist before he turned to violent crime to maximize his influence back in the US innocent is wanted by the FBI for an insanely long list of crimes including kidnapping for ransom theft murder assault vehicle theft and destruction of property there's a $2 million reward for information leading to his arrest but with powerful connections and an armed gang it'll be pretty tough to ever bring him to Justice Omar Alexander cardas in 20122 the FBI released two Eerie before and after clips of a man walking into and then running away from a shopping mall area on August 15th 2019 the man seen in the video is 29-year-old Omar Alexander card men and let's just say that he didn't exactly go shopping in the time that elapsed between those two clips after disappearing from the camera's view Omar walked up to a man standing outside the hair icon barber shop at an outdoor shopping center and fired several rounds from his semi-automatic handgun at his head killing him instantly immediately after committing the crime Omar fled the scene a little after 4 p. m.
